The Identification of the Luhansk Region and the Region Act’s According to the Qualification of Their Sustainable Development in the Conditions of the Joint Forces Operation

Each region has its own set of unique characteristics, which should create the basis for their growth and give residents a sense of home and safety. This article develops an approach to identifying a region and its amalgamated territorial communities in order to identify their strengths and values, based on the example of Luhansk region, which, due to ongoing military aggression, has significant development problems. It is proposed to quantify the results of complementary analysis of sustainable development indicators by quantitatively qualitative transformation of such indicators and rating points into a gradient of territorial features, which is visualized using the quantification axis to determine the unique characteristics of region. The application of such methodology for identifying a region greatly simplifies the process of identifying the benefits and values of a region in order to properly position and build an effective socio-economic development strategy.
